About Curt Chambers:

Singer, songwriter and guitartist Curt Chambers is the lead singer of Franklin Bridge - a new rock and R&B band with members representing Philadelphia and New Jersey. The name "Franklin Bridge" was derived as a symbol of that fusion.  The group consists of front-man and primary lead vocalist, Curt Chambers; vocalist and guitarist, Adam Blackstone; keyboardist and vocalist, Ray Ray Holloman; guitarist and vocalist, Wayne Moore; bassist and vocalist, and "Lil" Darrell Robinson on drums and vocals.

These five young men came together in 2005 to form what is considered a "super-group".  All highly sought after musicians, producers and songwriters in their own right, came together to create a sound unlike any other. Individually, these men have backed up top artists such as Musiq Soulchild, Jaguar Wright, Jill Scott, Floetry, Gerald LeVert, Kindred, The Roots, Sharrissa, the JazzyFatNastees, & Pharrell, to name a few. Yet, playing together on many stages, hearing their fit and mélange was inevitable. They, and all that would hear them together, would realize the unique gifts that each bring to a band.

In between studio sessions and touring the world with other artists, the members of Franklin Bridge made time for what has proven to be a musical journey all their own. "God has really blessed us in music and in friendship! We are five of the best friends and we wouldn't want to be on this grind without each other," says Adam.

Franklin Bridge has most recently opened at the Tower Theatre in Philadelphia for recording artist Vivian Green (Columbia Records), for Leela James (Warner Brother Records), and Eric Roberson, writer for artists such as Jill Scott and Will Smith. They are currently in the studio working on their debut album.

1. What's the best thing about the instrument you play?

The best thing about the instrument that I play is that I can put in in a bag and go out and play it anywhere. That's one thing that I love to do. I'll go downtown and sing and play my guitar on the street for the fun of it, and just to meet new people.

2. Give us one or two of your most memorable moments on stage or in the studio.

One of my most memorable moments was playing in South Africa with India.Arie and hearing thousands of my people cheer at me during my solo. The other time was when I got the chance to play with LL Cool J - an artist I grew up listining to. It brought tears to my eyes.
